Mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, vegan sausages and cauliflower cheese. The vegan cheese doesn&#8217;t melt very well so it could have been better, but not with the material that I have to hand.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is that I finished off the apple crumble tonight. With ice cream yet again, because I&#8217;d used the saucepan to make the cheese sauce. All in all, a meal fit for a king.<\/p>\n<p>But what was even better was that the meteorological conditions tonight were absolutely perfect. Not only could I see the street lights or similar out on the Isle of Jersey, but all of the lights on the island were reflected in the clouds so that there was a pale glow in the sky right over where the island is, and it was magnificnt.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell that I&#8217;m feeling a little better today.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough, I had a bad night&#8217;s sleep. My head cold has started up again which is no surprise after being soaked to the skin on Sunday, so it took ages to go to sleep. And I was awake early too.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;d been on my travels too during the night. Back into one of the offices where i worked and everyone from the manager down to the most junior office assistant, was harassing me, and enjoying it too. Not that this was any surprise &#8211; it was the story of my life and never bothered me in the past &#8211; but it was just by way of a remark.<\/p>\n<p>I managed to beat the second alarm call and so we had a nice early breakfast. And a little more tidying up and sorting out the freezer, labelling all of the stuff that I&#8217;ve cooked in the past.<\/p>\n<p>And I also had a little snooze too &#8211; but nothing like as deep as yesterday&#8217;s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I was away with the fairies again for a short while and then I had a stroke of luck. <\/p>\n<p>You may remember from a few days ago that I was sorting out a huge pile of photos going back years. But I&#8217;d &#8230; errr &#8230; misplaced the keywords for the sorting. And browsing around here and there, I managed to come across something that dated back to about 2006 and while it didn&#8217;t contain all of the information that I needed, i gave me enough to get going with while I make further enquries.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that I did was to find on my Social Networking site a group of people who are interested in old lorries. I&#8217;ve joined it and I&#8217;ll be posting the odd photo here and there and asking for help in identifying them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1711\/1711013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1711\/1711013.jpg\" alt=\"replacing water mains haute ville granville manche normandy france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>At about 16:00 I went out for a walk around the walls. And a little deviation to see how they were getting on with replacing the water pipes.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember that a couple of weeks ago I went to this meeting where they were discussing this programme to replace all of the lead piping in the Old Town, and they had started on Monday, so I was keen to see how they were doing.<\/p>\n<p>And they seem to be making good progress too, which makes a nice change.<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m fed and watered, been out for another walk in the moonlight, and now I&#8217;m ready for an early night.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that I&#8217;ll be feeling a little better tomorrow too.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-9928 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='9928' data-nonce='ceea1ad770' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-9928 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-9928 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='9928' data-nonce='ceea1ad770' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-9928 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-9928 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; tea, that was.
